that particular debates been going on well before I was born and I'm 70 plus years old,
Ive used both and I don,t see much difference in performance with proper ammo matching the intended game
I do think the 150 grain 270 bullet is marginally superior to the 130 grain, but your experience may differ from mine.
most of the guys Ive hunted elk and deer with have used the 30/06 ,165 grain for deer and the 180-200 grain for elk,
but Ive seen easily a dozen plus elk killed with both the 270 and 30/06, over the last 50 years,
and the difference in how the elk react to a properly placed shot, is minimal at best.
Id suggest selecting the rifle you like best
one guy Ive hunted with for 30 years loves his 30/06 BLR

another guy has successfully used a ruger single shot 270 win, for even longer
